   I have been a CNA for a year in LTAC and I love it! It can be stressful at times but very rewarding. I work 3-11 because I am a pre-nursing student and take classes in the morning. I clock in and get my report from 1st shift since I have a permanen...

11. medical assistant

    marie4nursing replied to flowerchild93's topic in CNA/MA

    I agree with this comment for the most part. But as a former medical assistant student, I'd like to add that medical assisting helps you to do more than just take vitals. Medical assisting will also help in other things to be comfortable around pati...

    marie4nursing replied to brittany1111's topic in Technicians

    If I ever become a nurse, (still deciding if I want to or not), I would never treat the CNAs/PCTs so badly. I have career CNAs in my family and I don't know how they do it!

    marie4nursing replied to brittany1111's topic in Technicians

    I am a CNA and I work in a nursing home, which is way worse. But I understand what you are going through. It takes all my strength to go there everyday. I am there for my residents, not the nurses or anyone else. Most of our nurses are lazy and rude....
